The zealous Hilary, ^64 who,from the peculiar hardships of his situation, was inclined toextenuate rather than to aggravate the errors of the Orientalclergy, declares, that in the wide extent of the ten provinces ofAsia, to which he had been banished, there could be found veryfew prelates who had preserved the knowledge of the true God. ^65The oppression Microsoft Office 2010 is so great.
